Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut: Pacifism, Predeterminism, and Alien Abductions?

Book Review: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath | Feminism, Isolation and 1950s Womanhood

It’s hard not to have heard of Sylvia Plath. People seem to take morbid interest in the fact that she killed herself just a month after the publication of her only novel– The Bell Jar.

Book Review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
